Coconut Oil!

My mom has been pestering telling me to use coconut oil to cook for a while ever since she heard about its health benefits, and so I picked up a jar on my recent trip to Trader Joe's. I've cooked with it and I must say, I absolutely love it! The coconut oil is so fragrant and makes the kitchen smell utterly delicious. It also leaves a very subtle taste to the veggies (I've used it with cauliflower and broccoli dishes) but doesn't overwhelm their natural sweetness. I heard my aunt has been using it as a moisturizer as well ... definitely not something I would do, but sounds yummy!

DIY Scarf Hanger

I love scarves and I think they are a great way to spice up an outfit. (There's a great video from Wendy's Lookbook that teaches you different ways to wear a scarf.) I previously hung my scarves by folding it in half, draped over a hanger but I find that it took a lot of space. So I googled and searched and came up with my version of a scarf hanger.

What I used:
1. A pant hanger from the dry cleaners
2. Plastic shower curtain rings
3. Binder clips

A picture is worth a thousand words. As you can see, I am using the binder clips to hold my shower curtain rings in place. Now I have more space in my closet to fill! Yay!
